There could hardly be a more striking instance, continued Sir Gerald, than Mr. Craig of the truth of the saying that a prophet is not without honour except among his own people.

TROPICAL SEAS.

FRENCH SCIENTISTS'

INVENTION. "

GIGANTIC POWER.

Starting from the principle that water will "boil" in a rarefled at- mosphere at a low temperature, two French scientists, MM. Claude and Boucherot, have built at Ougres, near Liege, a steam engina which will work without stoking and without a furnace. With its help they hope to tap the latent energy of the tropical seas by utilising the difference between the heated water of the surface and the cold water beneath.

The heated surface water, 'on being Introduced into a partial vacuum, boils," and is condensed again by the cold water pumped from the depths. The difference | between the water in the boiler and the water in the condenser was 10 degrees Centigrade when the ex- periment was conducted on June 1, and only one-quarter of the energy produced was absorbed in pumping and expelling the water.

in the tropics the difference in temperature is frequently as much as 30 degrees. Not only will this engine provide power in tropical districts, but the water expelled from the condenser will still be con- siderably colder than the atmos- phere, and on being passed in pipes round the buildings, or even in the streets, will reduce the tem- perature and make living bearable in districts formerly considered almost uninhabitable.

M. Claude during the war invent- [ed a liquid air bomb that was dis-: carded as too dangerous to handle. He got one of his bombs dropped, however, from an aeroplane within the German lines, where it exploded and wrought terrific damage; had it been dropped a quarter of an hour earlier it would have blown up the German Emperor.

It is believed that the Claude- Boucherot power-producing plant will effect a change in the world greater than that made by the ateam engine itself. It might change the centre of gravity of the world's production.
